i was wondering the same thing... maybe a can of tuna fish or something along those lines would do the trick, to get the smell out there ..... I'd appreciate any tips as well, need all the help i can get

I personaly use a mixture of blackmolases and bacon grease, mix about 30% molases and 70% bacon grease. All your trying to do is color the bacon grease to a black or brown color. I use this mixture all year round along with small marshmellos (sp?) and a #1 coil spring trap with a piece of pvc pipe that the bait goes into. I wire all my pieces of pvc to the trap stake so it don't get lost. This set works as good on land as it does along a ditch or creek IMHO.

ABOUT

Founded in 1999, Michigan-Sportsman.com started as a collection of links to Michigan related sites, and a series of manually edited blogs. It was a marriage of my passions for the outdoors and the internet.
In late 1999 we started our first message board. After going through 3 different message board softwares, we settled on one in late 2000. Photo galleries, classifieds, product reviews were added in later years. It was a social network before the term was coined. Users have self organized get togethers and many have formed long lived friendships with others who share the same interests in the outdoors through the site. Thanks for your patronage - Steve
